CAT® GROUND ENGAGING TOOLS

FOR CONSTRUCTION

Protect expensive machine components. Reduce your operating costs. And get the most out of your machine’s performance.

The most important part of any machine is its work tool. Buckets or blades, tips or edges, rippers or side cutters—no matter the size, worktools and Ground Engaging Tools (G.E.T.) are the main reason the machine exists. G.E.T. have a direct effect on the machine’s ability to produce. Improper selection affects not only your productivity, but also your fuel consumption, maintenance costs and possibly the longevity of your equipment.

Caterpillar offers “off-the-shelf” and custom G.E.T. systems that maximize machine productivity, and your Cat® dealer can help you establish an effective management program that minimizes preventable problems—working to reduce your operating and maintenance costs.

Use this catalog to learn more about what’s available for your equipment, then work with your Cat dealer’s G.E.T. specialist or PSSR to select the components built for your industry and jobsite conditions. We’ll make sure you get the rugged durability, solid protection and lowest cost-per-ton production system you need.

DOZERS 55 DOZERS

DOZERSNo other manufacturer in the world has more experience moving material than Caterpillar. We invented the dozer over 100 years ago—and we’ve been the market leader ever since. There are more Cat dozers at work in the world than any other brand.

Dozers work in dozens of different industries, applications, climates and environments and can be customized for specific jobs —just like the G.E.T. that protect their blade or ripper system. From parts availability to expert support and service, Cat customers can count on one reliable source—Caterpillar and Cat dealers.

DOZERS 76 DOZERS

SYSTEM OVERVIEWDozers move ground at mines, construction sites, residential developments and hundreds of other places. A dozer’s main work tools are a blade and a ripper. The universal blade is curved, wide and tall so that it can carry material. Other blades are flat or shorter, but they all do a similar job: leveling the ground. The ripper loosens the rocky or compact earth, which makes dozing or loading easier.

Both the blade and ripper have to balance ground penetration with wear life. Excessive worktool or G.E.T. wear material can make the machine less effective. Cat dozer cutting edges and end bits are designed as a balanced system to move more material over a longer period with less downtime—which translates into a lower cost per hour for you. Select from dozens of ripping system configurations or have your Cat dealer help you choose the best option for your application.

CUTTING EDGES & END BITSBALANCED EDGE SYSTEMS FOR EVERY APPLICATION.

Matching your cutting edge wear rates with your end bit selection is easy with our broad portfolio of options. You achieve a balanced system, which helps reduce both maintenance intervals and operating costs, leading to more productivity.

Cat end bits and cutting edges can be custom ordered with Cat Abrasion Resistant Material (A.R.M.), which is recommended for applications where sand, gravel or other abrasive materials severely diminish wear life. Hard tungsten carbide particles are bonded to critical wear areas, providing up to five times greater wear life than similar end bits and cutting edges without A.R.M. See your Cat dealer for details.

Threaded holes allow easier handling of edges at first install or during rotation to wear opposite edge.

Multiple edge sections allow you to rotate or replace only the worn areas.

Broad offerings allow you to have both end bit penetration and long cutting edge life, resulting in less maintenance.

A COUPLE MINUTES CAN SAVE YOU HOURS.

Ensuring a long life for your blade and the G.E.T. that protects it involves three simple steps. Clean surfaces, new hardware and proper installation technique are shared as tips and tricks below. Always follow the specific instructions for your machine. Your local Cat dealer is only a phone call away if you need assistance.

1) Clean and Pristine » Surfaces, bolts and nut threads must be clean

to ensure maximum clamping force » When installing, use new hardware as old bolts

may have suffered metal fatigue

2) Center Out » Cutting edge bolts are installed from the center

outward—do not install from both ends toward the center

» End bit bolts are installed first from the center outward, then from the center inward

3) Torque, Bang, Torque » Tighten all bolts to the required torque » Wearing safety goggles, seat bolt heads

in the countersinks with a heavy hammer » Tighten the bolts again to required torque

BLADE MAINTENANCE & REPAIR

Only a Cat cutting edge support will guarantee dimensional accuracy like the factory originals. Cutting edges and end bits are fastened to your cutting edge support. This bolted connection requires a perfectly flat and smooth surface the full length of the blade to ensure your G.E.T. stays secure. When millimeters matter, count on Cat quality and your Cat dealer’s capabilities.

BLADE PROTECTIONPUSH BACK ON COSTLY REPAIRS.

Protect your blades from impact and aggressive wear with the line of Cat blade protection for dozers. All Cat blade products are manufactured to the factory contour, making fit and installation fast and efficient.

Push plates distribute the high forces created when pushing scrapers.

Wear plates extend the service life of the blade “skin” in highly abrasive conditions.

Cat wear bars are 450 BHN and beveled to accept weld bead—a fast way to add strength and protection.

RIPPER SYSTEMS CAUSE A DISTURBANCE, GAIN PRODUCTIVITY.

Selecting the proper ripping tools can make the difference between just being able to rip a material and being able to reach optimum efficiency and maximum production (lowest cost/yd3). Production ripping (>20% of operation) usually requires a single shank ripper, as do very hard or tightly compacted materials. The more varied the job conditions, the greater the need for the multishank ripper. The multishank is especially useful in pre-ripping for scrapers or other loading tools.

For more information on ripper systems, please reference The Handbook of Ripping (AEDK0752).

Hammerless design allows pin re-use on R style adapters.

PARTNER WITH CATERPILLAR, EDGE OUT THE COMPETITION.

Caterpillar offers a wide range of cutting edges for motor graders. Each provides certain benefits when used in the appropriate application. Using the right edge is critical for enhancing production and keeping total costs to a minimum. The three factors to consider in choosing a cutting edge are shape, width and thickness.

There are two basic edge shapes—flat and curved—with serrated edges available in both configurations. In addition, the Cat GraderBits system dramatically expands the range of edge shape options. Cat offers two types of grader edges and three edge thicknesses for the 16M and 24M motor graders.

SUPERIOR DURABILITY,MORE OPTIONS

EXTENDED EDGE LIFE

MAXIMUM PENETRATION, MINIMUM WASTE

CHOOSING AN EDGEEdge selection is critical for enhancing production and keeping cost to a minimum. Application affects the cutting edge shape, metallurgy and style. Impact, penetration and abrasion define your application environment. An edge has to penetrate the material and not break during operation. Edge life then becomes a matter of metallurgy and thickness.

DEVELOPING A ROAD OR PERFORMING HEAVY MAINTENANCE » A flat edge is best suited for this application. A better penetrating option

is a flat serrated edge. A flat edge has limited ability to carry material forward.

GRADING HARD-PACKED GRAVEL, FROZEN EARTH AND ICE » A serrated edge penetrates better than a continuous edge because it

exerts more down pressure. A curved serrated edge penetrates better than a flat serrated edge with a forward mold board.

RECONDITIONING OR FINISH GRADING AN EXISTING ROAD SURFACE » Curved edges penetrate the roadway while carrying existing material

forward to leave a smooth flat surface. A better penetrating option is a curved serrated edge. A serrated edge will not leave as clean a roadway surface as a continuous edge.

WHAT IS YOUR APPLICATION?


TUNGSTEN CARBIDE TILE CUTTING EDGESCat Tungsten Carbide Cutting Edges combine through-hardened steel with the wear resistance of tungsten carbide. When used in high-abrasion, low-impact applications, they can provide up to 20 times the life of a standard through-hardened edge. Fewer edge changes means less downtime and lower hardware costs.

FLAT EDGES » Maximum strength and available wear material

» Longest wearing edge available in high abrasion and low impact

TUNGSTEN CARBIDE EDGES » Tungsten carbide edges have a continuous row of trapezoid-shaped carbide

“tiles.” This patented shape forms a leading / cutting edge

» Carbide tile bottom must be flat to the ground. 20 o maximum tilt

» Max 5 mph/8kph

» Do not use on roads with large embedded rocks

CURVED EDGES » Curved-edge design improves penetration and rolling action

» Trapezoid-shaped tungsten carbide tile on leading edge stays sharp as it wears

» Shorter edge sections speed rotation and reduce “throw-away” due to edge crowning

SERRATED EDGES » Better penetration than a continuous edge (greater down pressure

per in2 of edge contact)

» No cast angle restrictions

THROUGH-HARDENED CUTTING EDGES Most Cat edges are through-hardened steel, which offers high-impact resistance. High-carbon edges have good surface hardness and perform well in high-abrasion, low-impact applications such as finish work. High-carbon edges will not withstand the impact level of a through-hardened edge.

FLAT SERRATED » Better penetration than a continuous edge (greater down pressure

per inch of edge contact)

» Designed to penetrate packed gravel, frozen earth and ice

» For severe impact conditions, install over a 6” (152 mm) edge to reduce tooth breakage

FLAT » Heavy road maintenance and pioneering

» Maximum strength and available wear material

» Best option for abrasion and impact resistance

CURVED SERRATED » A curved serrated edge penetrates better than a straight serrated edge

with a forward mold board

CURVED » Provides superior penetration and rolling action necessary for fine grading

and finish work

» Finishing tolerances less than 1/4” (6 mm)—the best value may be in selecting a narrow and thin cutting edge

EDGE WIDTH EQUALS WEAR MATERIAL » An 8“ (203 mm) edge provides twice the wear material as a 6” (152 mm) edge

at about 35% more cost

» Hardware cost and R&I downtime are reduced by 50%


GRADERBIT SYSTEMSMOOTH OUT THE TOUGHEST ROADWAYS IN A SINGLE PASS.

The Cat GraderBit edge system outperforms steel blades in high-production road reconditioning applications. Individual cutting bits are faced with tungsten carbide to form a serrated edge to penetrate and lift material to the surface immediately. As a result, most road maintenance jobs can be accomplished in a single pass.

Cuts through tough and compact materials, causing lower ripping resistance and less horsepower loss.

Up to 10x more wear life than a 10” edge.

Create edge patterns that deliver optimum performance.

MORE PRODUCTION,LESS WASTE

LONGER LIFE

CUSTOMIZABLE

TUNGSTEN CARBIDE INSERT CUTTING EDGES Cat carbide insert edges offer long wear life in higher speed applications like state/county road snow removal. The tungsten carbide is brazed into a milled groove in the center of the edge. The design offers impact resistance and minimizes edge “crowning” in applications that require a level grading operation.


GRADERBIT SYSTEM GraderBit adapter board options are 3‘ (914mm) and 4’ (1219mm) sections. Two hole-spacing patterns are available to control aggregate flow. Standard boards are used for most roadways, and the mining board hold pattern is 50% wider to accommodate large aggregate in mine environments.

MIX AND MATCH » Mix and match bits to control the size of the aggregate left behind

» Use wide bits on the end of the moldboard to prevent excessive wear

STANDARD BITS » Baseline bit - 30mm wide

» Moderate penetration

» Standard Board Bit Gap: 32mm

» Mining Board Bit Gap: 48mm

SHARP BITS » 50% narrower than the standard bit - 15.5 mm wide

» Allows larger aggregate to flow through



PENETRATION BITS » Narrower than standard bit - 23 mm wide

» Wider gap allows larger aggregate to flow through



WIDE BITS » Can configure as a continuous edge

» Twice as wide as the standard bit (60 mm)




Operators can install the entire system in about an hour and field-replace individual bits in minutes without removing the moldboard. Varying bit widths allow you to create both serrated and continuous edge configurations. GraderBits do not require daily inspection like rotating bit systems.

Bit insertion into adapter board.

GraderBits are held in place with a snap ring.

Adapter boards bolt up to the moldboard like standard edges.

Keep bits perpendicular to the road surface. The cast angle is not to exceed 10o, penetration depth 11/2“ max, max 6 mph/10kph.

ROTATING BIT SYSTEM

The rotating bit system outperforms steel blades in high-production road reconditioning applications. Individual cutting bits have tungsten carbide tips and form a serrated edge to penetrate and lift material to the surface immediately. As a result, most road maintenance jobs can be accomplished in a single pass.

Material is brought to the surface for reuse, reducing the expense of spreading new gravel.

END BIT SYSTEM

PUT AN END TO MOLDBOARD WEAR.

Made of through-hardened DH-2 steel for added strength and service life, Cat end bits protect moldboard edges from wear.

OPERATING TECHNIQUES FOR REDUCED COST.

Through better management of the interface between machine and materials, operators can maximize productivity, lower machine operating costs and reduce cab vibration, improving operator comfort.

MOLDBOARD POSITION » Start with moldboard 2” (4“ for 24M) ahead of the edge

» Grade with cutting edge 90° to the road

» Maintain fixed angle to ensure constant edge thickness

» Laid back reduces penetration and can wear moldboard

» Frequent angle changes will shorten the edge life

SPEED AND EXCESSIVE DOWN PRESSURE » Use accumulator to absorb shocks

» < 6mph/8kph speed

» Excess speed can cause edge slivering

» Need penetration? Choose a thinner edge, a serrated edge or the Cat GraderBits system for the most compacted materials

CROWNING » Occurs when the cutting edge conforms to the material

being graded

» A narrow and thin edge reduces the “throw away” material

» Extreme crowning may require a bit system

STANDARDIZE YOUR HARDWARE » Moldboard bushings reduce 3/4” holes to 5/8”

» Simplify inventory and lower cost

R SERIES RIPPER TIP OPTIONSCaterpillar offers three options for the R350 ripper tip size class for 16M and 24M motor graders. Due to the extreme nature of maintaining haul roads, scarifiers are not offered on 16M and 24M.

CENTERLINE tips have equal wear material on both sides and can be reversed, which can extend the life and help maintain sharpness.

PENETRATION ripper tips have an aggressive angle to break through even the hardest surfaces and dig into the ground more effectively.

PENETRATION - SHARP tips are an intermediate length. They come factory sharpened to ensure maximum penetration.



RIPPER-SCARIFIER COMPONENTSScarifiers can be mounted before the blade (V-Block design) or behind the machine (Straight Block design). Rear-mounted ripper-scarifiers are more versatile than forward-mounted configurations. Rip or scarify by changing shank position.

V-BLOCK » Loosen compacted surfaces, rocky subgrades and frozen ground

» Fit ahead of the blade (mid mount)

» Holds up to 11 shanks and scarifies up to 46” (1168 mm) wide

STRAIGHT BLOCK » Low-impact applications and shallow scarifying

» Higher allowable speed (up to 3rd gear) in shallow

» Holds up to 17 shanks and scarifies up to 72” (1828 mm) wide

» May be used as a mid-mount scarifier

SCARIFIER TIPS

» We offer three types of scarifier tips for surface reconditioning. Tip has a tapered design that secures it to the shank

» Through-hardened tips for general purpose scarifying

» Heavy-Duty for deep penetration and extended distances

» A.R.M. for high-abrasion/low-impact conditions extends tip life 3 to 5 times over through-hardened

SCARIFIER SHANKS » Through-hardened and tempered to resist wear, bending and breakage

» Front or rear notch for V-Block or Straight Block

SYSTEM OVERVIEWHydraulic excavators are extremely versatile machines used for a variety of purposes, from grading to mass excavation to demolition work. A hydraulic excavator’s main work tool is a bucket, but these machines can also be equipped with hydraulic couplers to pick up a variety of tools.

Balancing your desired productivity/penetration with the wear life of your system is critical. Excessive wear material can reduce productivity and increase fuel burn. Cat hydraulic excavator buckets and G.E.T. are designed as a balanced system to increase life while minimizing drag.

Low-profile shape provides optimal sharpness, penetration and digging ability throughout the tip life.

More wear material can effectively be used before the tips are changed, adding 10-15% more usable life.

The tip and adapter fit together precisely to reduce tip movement and adapter wear.

One-piece vertical retainer allows for easy installation and removal.

Rails on both sides of the adapter and a twist-on design hold the tip in place, allowing for quicker installation.

BASE EDGE SYSTEMS

FASTEST INSTALLATION TIMES IN THE INDUSTRY.

Cat base edge systems go through a series of carefully controlled manufacturing processes to deliver maximum strength, durability and long life. They come completely welded and assembled, dramatically shortening your installation and replacement time.

A consistent heat-treat process maximizes strength and resists abrasion. Shot blasting removes impurities that can cause inclusions on a weld, and controlled cooling reduces the chance of stress points.

INCREASE DURABILITY

Butterbead is applied to the back side of the base edge and the top strap of the corner adapter, so you can weld the edge onto the bucket without preheating.

Base edges are designed by Caterpillar engineers for optimal performance on specific machines.

SAVE INSTALLATION & REPLACEMENT TIME

OPTIMIZE MACHINE PERFORMANCE


BUTTERBEAD BASE EDGE ASSEMBLYDURABLE PROTECTION COMBINED WITH SHORTER INSTALLATION TIMES.

The protection you need, with no preheating required—that’s what you get with butterbead weld prep. This technique, which involves applying a layer of weld to a heat-treated, higher hardness part, makes it possible to weld a base edge to a bucket without preheating the hardened part. Choose from two shapes (straight and spade) on cutting edges thicker than 50mm and three levels of build to get the right protection for your application.

Weld prep eliminates the need for preheating, shortening edge installation time by 30-50%.

Base edges have the proper butterbead weld because it is applied in the factory.


GET MOREDURABILITY

BASE EDGE SYSTEMS

Base edge replacement involves replacing a base edge assembly, which includes adapters welded in from the factory, or replacing a bolt-on cutting edge (BOCE) base edge, which comes with factory-drilled holes for bolt-on G.E.T. Choose from three shapes (base edge for BOCE, straight and spade base edge assemblies) to get the right protection for your application.

BUCKET SELECTION GUIDE We offer four standard bucket durability categories suitable for any application. Each category is based on the bucket’s intended durability when used in the recommended application and material.

GENERAL DUTY

» For digging in low-impact, lower-abrasion materials such as dirt, loam and mixed compositions of dirt and fine gravel. Example: Digging conditions in which General Duty tip life exceeds 800 hours.

HEAVY DUTY

» For a wide range of impact and abrasion conditions including mixed dirt, clay and rock. Example: Digging conditions where Penetration Plus tip life ranges from 400 to 800 hours.

» HD buckets are a good “center line” choice, or starting point, when application conditions are not well known.

BOLT-ON HALF ARROWS, TOP COVERS, CUTTING EDGES & WELD-ON SHROUDSProtect your investment in buckets and base edges with these flexible components. Half arrows allow for a smooth transition of material over the base edge to protect the leading edge. Top covers complement the half arrows to protect the base edge fully. Modular edge shrouds are designed to fit any bucket configuration and extend the life of your excavator bucket edge assembly.

Individual pieces that protect the edge can be changed independently.

Half arrows cover the leading edge for smooth material transition.

Top cover reduces wear on weld joints.

ADDITIONAL BUCKET STYLESSeveral different bucket styles are available—each with a special purpose:

CENTER-LOCKTM PIN GRABBER PERFORMANCE

This bucket is designed with a patented recessed pin to provide maximum digging performance while keeping the versatility and convenience of a coupler. Tip radius is reduced and allows up to 10% improvement in breakout force when compared to a conventional pin-on bucket and coupler combination.

Center-Lock Pin Grabber Performance Buckets are available for 315-349 excavators in General Purpose and Severe Duty durability.

DITCH CLEANING

These buckets are designed for cleaning ditches, sloping, grading and other finish work. Their shallow depth and compact size make working in confined areas easier. Drainage holes allow liquid to empty so material dumps more easily. Ditch Cleaning Buckets are available for 311-336 excavators.

Tilt Buckets feature a full 45° of tilt in each direction, powered by two double-acting cylinders. Tilt Buckets are available for 311-329 excavators.

WIDE TIP

Wide Tip Buckets are intended to perform best in low-impact materials such as dirt and loam where leaving a smoother floor and minimal spillage is necessary. The bucket is engineered to be used exclusively with Cat Wide Tips. Corner adapters face straight forward to create a smooth edge.

General Duty Wide Tip Buckets are available in widths from 24” to 78” for 311-349 excavators.

POWER

Power Buckets are for use in abrasive applications where breakout force and cycle times are critical—and for use in materials such as tightly compacted mixed dirt and rock. (Not recommended for clay.) Breakout force is maximized due to decreased tip radius and increased pin spread. Machine cycle times in most material are improved over a standard bucket in a similar application.

Heavy Duty Power Buckets are available for 320-336 excavators.

HIGH CAPACITY

High Capacity Buckets are designed and built for use in high-production truck-loading applications. With proper application and set up, these buckets will move more material in a minimal amount of passes—maximizing production.

High Capacity Buckets are available for 336-390 excavators in General Duty durability.

BUTTERBEAD BASE EDGE ASSEMBLYDURABLE PROTECTION COMBINED WITH SHORTER INSTALLATION TIMES.

The protection you need, with no preheating required—that’s what you get with butterbead weld prep. This technique, which involves applying a layer of weld to a heat-treated, higher hardness part, makes it possible to weld a base edge to a bucket without preheating the hardened part. Choose from two shapes (straight and spade) and three levels of build, available on 50mm and larger base edges, to get the right protection for your application.

Weld prep eliminates the need for preheating, shortening edge installation time by 30-50%.

Base edges have the proper butterbead weld because it is applied in the factory.


GET MOREDURABILITY

BASE EDGE SYSTEMS

Base edge replacement for a heavy-duty rock or a heavy-duty abrasion wheel loader bucket usually involves a base edge assembly, which is a base edge with adapters welded in place at the factory. General purpose and material handling buckets typically have a straight base edge with holes that can accept bolt-on cutting edges or bolt-on adapters and segments.

ADDITIONAL BUCKET STYLESSeveral different bucket styles are available—each with a special purpose:

GRAPPLE: Grapple Buckets clamp loose material with dual ladder-style grapple tines. These are key producers in transfer stations, landfills or wherever loose, lightweight material needs to be moved.

COAL: Coal Buckets are high-volume material movers for loading and stockpiling coal and other materials of similar density.

MULTI-PURPOSE: Multi-Purpose Buckets have a unique action that can load, bulldoze, clamp and perform many other tasks. A versatile design for site cleanup, demolition or similar situations.

HIGH DUMP: High Dump Buckets utilize dedicated dumping cylinders and a bottom hinge to “roll out” material. Higher than ordinary bucket types, they are ideal for transfer stations or loading high-sided trucks.

SIDE DUMP: Side Dump Buckets dump both to the front and to the side of the machine, an advantage when working in tight quarters such as street work, tunnel construction and building levees.

GENERAL PURPOSE / MATERIAL HANDLER / COAL BUCKET (Typical tip life 500-1000 hrs)

HEAVY DUTY ROCK / HIGH ABRASION ROCK BUCKET(Typical tip life 200-500 hrs)

STANDARD ROCK BUCKET(Typical tip life < 1000 hrs)

HEAVY DUTY GRANITE BUCKET(Typical tip life > 200 hrs)

CHOOSING THE RIGHT DURABILITY.Choosing the wrong bucket can easily reduce production and increase operating costs by 10-20% or more. It can also cause unnecessary wear and fatigue for both machine and bucket.

Contact your local Cat dealer for more detailed information on choosing the right wheel loader, bucket and work tool attachment combinations to meet your application needs.

108 MEDIUM WHEEL LOADERS

ADDITIONAL BUCKET STYLES (CONT.)

WASTE HANDLING: Waste Handling Buckets move large volumes of low-density waste in transfer stations, landfills and recycling yards. Large capacities give maximum production when loading conveyors, trucks or hoppers.

SLAG: Cat Slag Buckets are heavy duty and specifically constructed to handle extreme conditions that come with handling hot slag.

WASTE DOZING: Dozing Buckets are designed to push waste loads along the floor to a hole or hopper in the floor for below— grade truck loading.

WASTE LOAD & CARRY: Load & Carry Buckets are primarily designed to load and carry lightweight material, minimizing contact with the floor for less bucket and floor wear.

WOODCHIP: As the name suggests, Woodchip Buckets are optimized for moving large volumes of wood chips. The flat floor and straight edge work to scoop the bucket full and help heap the load high.

SKELETAL MAWPSSTAY COVERED ACROSS YOUR PASS MATCH.

Quick and easy to install, skeletal MAWPS protect the rear portion of truck bodies to help you maximize uptime. A through-hardened DH-2 wear plate slides onto a weld-on base plate and is held in place with a patented compression retainer, trapping materials from any direction.

The skeletal wear plate traps material in and between plates, allowing for material-on-material wear instead of wear on steel body liner products.

Because the compression retainer is positioned low in the base plate, more of the wear plate can be worn away before you need to replace it.

You can typically replace worn wear plates in two minutes or less without hammering or welding.

Available in standard and heavy-duty sizes, skeletal MAWPS can be customized to fit virtually any truck body configuration—flat floor or dual slope.
